Previously on What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Stronger.

Lucy walked out only to see her worst nightmare. Her past house. No not house. More like haunted mansion. The place where she was born. The place where her mother died. The place where her father abused her. The place she ran away from only to come back to where it all started. Now it was Lucy's turn to feel sick.

"Hey Lucy! Where's the client?"

Lucy didn't respond. Her hair overshadowed her face so it hid the tears on the girls face.

Chapter 11: Remember

Lucy and Natsu walked towards the door and knocked. Natsu would have ran over the door if his partner's aura wasn't so downcast. Lucy looked around everywhere with a sad look on her face as if she was going to burst out in tears any second.

Natsu smelled the walls of the house only to realize why she was acting this way. Among the odd scents of the requester's house was a scent of the old Heartfilia household; old books, dust, and vanilla. Natsu looked back at the troubled Lucy only to realize that she reacted to this already and Natsu was too dense to notice.

"Great Mavis what have I done!" Natsu muttered under his breath.

Before Natsu could say anything to cheer Lucy up, the door to the old Heartfilia household opened and there stood an old yet pretty maid who looked radiant and happy to see them. From there, the nice lady walked over to where her boss was waiting. While the three walked in the hallway (you can't forget Happy!) Lucy looked at every unfamiliar painting and sighed before she continued walking. Natsu couldn't ignore it anymore.

"Lucy!" Natsu exclaimed waving his hand in front of her eyes, "What's wrong?"

"Oh… Um nothing!" She answered blandly

"Don't lie to me," Natsu demanded as he gazed into Lucy's sad ones. It was obvious that she was crying because her eyes were puffy so Natsu didn't continue walking until she started to talk.

"My past," she began, "This is where I grew up. Where I lived as a child. Where I was forced to come back to. Where I ran away from!" And that was when the first tear ran down her face

Natsu wrapped his arms around her before she could say anything else.

"We don't have to do it," he said in Lucy's ear, "Just remember that you have a new family now at Fairy Tail and we will always be by you side."

Lucy didn't speak as she continued to hug Natsu. Just the feeling that she had someone else who cared about her made her feel so much better. Her tears streamed down her cheek but they weren't just tears of sadness. They were tears of joy, comfort, and past mistakes all rolled into two chocolate eyes. Natsu just patted her on the back as she let her tears go. Happy stayed silent knowing that now was not the time to comment on how 'lovely dovey' the couple was being.

Natsu couldn't hold it in anymore. He pulled backwards just to see her. Her eyes that could make chocolate melt. That smile that could lighten up the world. Her hair that felt like pure silk. Surely she looked like a beauty to some but to him it was his angel shining her light down to him.

"Lucy?" Natsu began.

"Yes Natsu?" Lucy spoke with her ever so calming voice and articulate way of speaking. Natsu froze before going off to another topic.

"On the 4th day of the games why did you kiss me?" Natsu asked. Oh no! That's not what he meant to say at all. Happy couldn't help but giggle in the background.

"Look! ITS CARLA!" Lucy exclaimed sarcastically as she pointed down the long hallway.

"IM COMING CARLA!" Happy exclaimed as he flew down the hallway.

"Look Natsu, the only reason I did that was because- well I missed you. Yes I did miss a lot of people like Gray," Natsu snorted before Lucy continued, "Erza, Wendy, and everyone else but you were the only reason I was in the guild anyways!" Natsu didn't take his eyes off of her as she regained the strength to confront the job that was at hand.

"Lets go," Lucy stated with a cold layer over her voice, "We have a job to complete."

As the two partners in crime entered the room, Lucy came to realize that the office looked a lot like her fathers.

"At least they kept one thing the same," Lucy thought as she walked into the room.

"Excuse me!" Lucy exclaimed as she enter through the large wooden doors.

"Heartfilia," A voice demanded as Lucy quickly reacted.

"Yes?"

"I never really liked the name, Heartfilia." The person said as his face finally was seen through the shadows. There stood a man with very dark blue hair, tall and slim, and a scary aura.

"I refer to not be compared to my father," Lucy retorted blandly.

"But you do share the same name, am I correct?"

"Names don't mea-"

"YOU SHARE THE SAME NAME AM I CORRECT?" The man demanded. Lucy hesitated before awnsering.

"Yes sir," she replied.

"Very good," The man stated as Lucy angrily stood in front of the desk, reminding herself every few seconds of the reward that she would receive is she stays calm.

"Mr Dragoneel," the man said as Natsu looked up at the man. Natsu felt the urge to punch him and telling by Lucy's face, she wanted to do the same but fought the urge not to. He stayed calm only for that reason as the man continued to speak.

"Tomorrow night there will be a grand ball to find my daughter's husband. You will guard her until then and will make sure that her safety is definitely secure."

"Um sir?" Lucy questioned, "What would I be in charge of?"

"Oh I have no use for a Heartfilia," The man responded that comment would have blew both of them off the edge if he hadn't continued.

"You can guard from outside to make sure that there are no suspicious characters," the job sender continued as Lucy shivered. Yes she was a Celestial Dragon slayer but being taught by these dragons, including the warm starlight dragon, doesn't change the fact that she isn't bothered by the cold.

"Lucy, are y-" Natsu began but Lucy interrupted.

"Yes sir, we will take your mission," Lucy stated before Natsu could say another word.

"Great. One of my maids will assist you, Heartfilia, to the door while Sir Natsu will be led to his room next to my daughter. I trust you not to get any b-"

"Wait Lucy doesn't get a room?" Natsu interrupted.

"Please Maid 1 and 2 take Heartfilia to the exit," the man demanded

"I'l be fine Natsu just do what he says and we will be out of here in no time," Lucy comforted as she was lead to the doors of the office. Natsu nudged Happy as if it were a sign for Happy to go follow Lucy. When the door closed Natsu slammed his fist on the man's desk.

"WHY DOESN'T LUCY GET A ROOM!" Natsu demanded as a crack formed on the man's desk. Natsu then remembered what Lucy said and slowly removed his fist of fury off of the desk.

"Because she has insulted the Lobster family and has no right to live here." He responded blandly and excused him from the room.
